hiphop gamer reaches a new low: "Tomonobu Itagaki Gets Outdone By Ninja Bla

are these guy trying to get the headlines or are they just plain stupid?

Well this guys never played a Ninja Gaiden game.

"or too long, the only game featuring ninjas gamers went crazy about was Ninja Gaiden. The series has been good in all its glory so it's not like the series was a bad game and the only one of its kind. There have been a few other games that tried to compare to it but never really shined. Now there is a game that can truly be called "The game better than Ninja Gaiden!" This game of course is Ninja Blades (leave it to the developers to come up with such an obvious title for a game; why not Blades of Steel or something? I'm sure Konami would be glad to give off that old name I mean they certainly aren't about hockey anymore). Anyhow, back to topic; This Microsoft exclusive has been said to be a God of War and Ninja Gaiden mix. Sounds good to me, but unfortunately I haven't been able to experience this game first hand so I can't say if it's mere fanboy talk or it actually is that good.

As amazing as this game is, Tomonobu Itagaki once said that quick time events aren't good to use in fighting games. Whether I can agree with this or not is a different issue. He also took a shot at Heavenly Sword's quick time events as well, but to me as long as developers can capture this right, it works fine with me and Heavenly Sword did just that. Ninja Blades is a brand new IP and yet it seems From Software didn't take Itagaki's words to seriously and it made their game a success so far.

Aside from the outstanding graphics, this game also packs outstanding game play that you won't soon get bored of. The Demo is Live for download on XBL now so I'll be checking that out soon. I don't own a 360 since all my previous 360's have broken down and I refuse to buy another. Fortunately I still have plenty access to it through friends though I usually only play it on the weekends. This game is building up to be excellent from what I've heard and seen. The game contains a great amount of fast paced action and immense quick time events that ties in with the game to give it the good cinematic quality.

This game unfortunately isn't on these "Hardcore gamers" radar since they are only interested in shooters and whatnot. The scale of the game is impressive featuring weapons, magic, smart Ai enemies, and intense boss battles. You play the role of a ninja named Ken. You start the game fairly quick running down walls fighting your way to the bottom. This game is a great addition to the action genre and takes all these action fighting games to all new heights; it's definitely a worthy opponent to the God of War Series. Microsoft has once again secured a title that's worth purchasing on their system for. GDC and E3 is coming and if Microsoft is sending these types of messages with their games this early in the year then Sony better focus on PS3 which is the now and the future, though it is hard for them to abandon the PS2 with all its fan base but if they can't focus all their time and money into just one major console, they will find themselves slipping instead of closing the gap."

Ninja gaiden on xbox is the best action game last gen

it was the highest rated action game last gen, both on GS and Gamerankings

this gen NG sigma is the only AAA action game

Ninja Blade is a shameless NG ripoff, its just shovelware,

these guys make me laugh

No, it isn't, and you do not have any "particle" of right to say so, and you haven't played it yet. Maybe start making things up without experiencing them and focus on reality: i.e. enjoy playing some overhyped flop.

btw ninja blade has a 80% on gamerankings, I don't know why people defend this trash

Hahaha. Ninja Blade is a bunch of horribly correographed QTEs and shallow combat.Vandalvideo

[QUOTE="bingbaocao"][QUOTE="GTR_FX"] read my post, you=selfownedGTR_FX

[QUOTE="GTR_FX"][QUOTE="bingbaocao"] I fail to see the ownage...bingbaocao

[QUOTE="bingbaocao"][QUOTE="GTR_FX"] I never mentioned NG2, I talked about the original NInja gaiden on xbox and NG sigma, both are the highest rated actions in their generationsGTR_FX

NG2 wasn't that good. Frame rate issues hurt the gameplay andthere was way tomany cheap deaths. The first one was much better and the PS3 game NG Sigma ran much smoother.

He and his team were promise a big bonus they never got. He got angry and left to sue the company. I heard he is temporary retired, GameSpot reported it a while back. There is a rumor that Capcom is trying to hire him.

I think this is the latest news on it: http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/ninjagaidensigma/news.html?sid=6192629

I played Ninja Gaiden : Sigma and Ninja Blade.They're both good games.

I'm sorry, but people are actually suprised that "hiphopgamer" might not be a good place to go for game reviews ? This was shocking ? I could of guessed that from the name.

[QUOTE="Nerkcon"][QUOTE="GTR_FX"] not a surprise coming from you, you must sure love crap, I guess thats why your a tekken fanboybingbaocao

[QUOTE="bingbaocao"][QUOTE="Nerkcon"] You know what is really funny? Tekken fanboys love to pick on DOA players like myself but hardcore players from the top fighting games such as Virtual Fighter and Street Fighter all look down as Tekken as being shallow and broken, and they just ignore them! :lol: But he is gone now, Ninja Gaiden and DOA are probably going go down the drain. I'm switching to Virtual Fighter.GTR_FX

wait a sec... the guy whop wrote the article hasnt even played the final copy.... its all based on what he has "heard".....

[QUOTE="Tekkenloving"][QUOTE="GTR_FX"]tekken is awesome Nerkcon

[QUOTE="Nerkcon"][QUOTE="Tekkenloving"]wait but I didn't mention tekken nor was it mention in the topic did you just post solely to annoy/offend other users.bingbaocao

haters complain about DOA being too shallow I guess, they also complain about the graphics being too good

[QUOTE="Tekkenloving"][QUOTE="GTR_FX"]tekken is awesome Nerkcon

Tekken is just a button mashing noob fest..i'm not exactly the biggest fan of DOA either..but atleast there's alittle more skill required than Tekken

i'm more of a SNK and Capcom fighting fan myself.

[QUOTE="bingbaocao"][QUOTE="Nerkcon"] I want to ask you the same thing about your first post. Have you ever consider that he is some of our favorite developers? I am sick and tired of the great arrogance of the Tekken players, they just pick on us because we're on the bottom yet they're only one tier above us. You can't even metion DOA on certin parts of the Internet with out being attacked by a Tekken player.GTR_FX

[QUOTE="bingbaocao"] doesn't the same apply to Devil may cry 4 though? and to a certain point Ninja gaiden 2 and God of War 1 (i never played Ninja gaiden 1 nor God of war 2 so i can't comment on those)Vandalvideo

hiphop gamer: I don't own a 360 since all my previous 360's have broken down and I refuse to buy another. Fortunately I still have plenty access to it through friends though I usually only play it on the weekends. GTR_FX

is this guy supposed to be a journalist or a kid, could you imagine gamespot saying oh we don't review 360 anymore because it's broke down a few times. I can't believe a little while ago people was actually saying this guy was reliable because he made a couple of predictions.

Right about there is where I stopped reading.

Going to hip hop gamer for gaming news and information is like going to MSNBC and Fox News for unbiased political commentary. It just doesn't work.

btw ninja blade has a 80% on gamerankings, I don't know why people defend this trashGTR_FX

[QUOTE="GTR_FX"]btw ninja blade has a 80% on gamerankings, I don't know why people defend this trashkarriston

I love Ninja Blade, but it doesn't outdo Ninja Gaiden. HipHopsterHomie is a PS3 fanboy and just trying to bash Ninja Gaiden since #2 is exclusive. And yes, I know Ninja Blade is also exclusive, but he knows what he's doing.

[QUOTE="GTR_FX"]Ninja Blade is a shameless NG ripoff, its just shovelwarebingbaocao

the more ninja games the merrier, besides anything is better than the xbox1.5 graphics of the first one

yes the graphics weren't revolutionary like NG1, but they weren't bad by any standard
